stories like we hunt the flame are the reason i love fantasy !! 

i mean it when i say this is one of the best ya fantasy books i’ve read. the storytelling was fantastic. it’s truly unmatched.

i loved zafira and nasir, they were amazing main characters, and they each had distinctive voices. books with dual perspectives are usually a hit or miss for me. sometimes i struggle to connect with one of the characters, and then i find myself bored for half the book, but that wasn’t the case with we hunt the flame. i loved getting glimpses of both zafira and nasir, and not one aspect of this book bored me. i was entertained and engaged the entire time. 

reading about the struggles of zafira and nasir and following along as they worked through their issues was gut-wrenching at times. the character development was well-fleshed out and some of the best i’ve read. 

i thought the dash of romance was perfect! i appreciated that the romance didn’t overshadow the rest of the story. nasir was such a sucker for zafira, and i adored every little interaction. 

i need everyone to read this !!
